Yes, definately remove the symlink, and restore Apple's perl ... If any part of OSX uses perl, it will expect to find version 5.6.0 in /usr/bin - changing this to fink's copy may break parts of OSX itself in the future, especially if you continue to upgrade your perl version (it's a small risk, but present nonetheless) You should find that fink's init.csh puts /sw/bin before /usr/bin on your path, so anything you run from a shell should choose fink's perl in preference to the system one. The presence of $PERL5LIB should enable the system perl to find fink-installed modules, too. If you're writing scripts that don't run from an interactive session (i.e. from cron, or apache) then you may want to add the fink definitions to them, by adding the 'source' line from your .cshrc -jim ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
